It was a great stay with our family. The house has beautiful views and we loved how it truly had everything you need. I will say the only down fall about it is that it is not technically 4 bedrooms meaning that you do not have privacy like a bedroom however there is plenty of space for everyone to sleep.
We recently spent a week scalloping at Crystal River. This house was perfect. The home was very nice and clean. Julie was easy to communicate with and helped us out with anything we might need. She has a dock at the end of the cul-de-sac (just a few steps down the street) that we kept our boat docked -that was very convenient not to have to load/unload the boat everyday. Would recommend and hope to be back in the future!
We have been coming to crystal river for 8 years now around the same time of the year for scalloping season. This is one of the best kept houses we have stayed at, equipped with everything you need! Just bring your groceries. The view was quiet and beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet and friendly! The property manager exceeded our expectations, she was easy to work with and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property!
Very tastefully furnished. Well stocked with all necessities for comfort. Loved all the nature watching. A rating all the way around. Would definitely rebook. Julie was a gem and most accommodating.
Had an amazing time in Crystal River! House was perfect size for our family of 4. Owner was very gracious and helpful with any needs or questions we had. Would definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful stay for the start of scallop season at the Manatee House! We found the property and accommodations to be just as described start to finish! Dawn, the host, was a great communicator throughout our stay, which was particularly helpful as we happened to have a hurricane blow through during our stay! The beds were comfortable, the dock was spacious and the kids (ok, adults too) loved the pool/hot tub! We really appreciated the bonus space the house had to offer with the screened in garage. We had a fantastic stay and are already talking about when we can go back!
Top level: We would absolutely stay here again and we had a fantastic time. The house was well appointed--great features, great furnishings, and great layout. There were a couple of things that weren't ideal. The hot tub was not working when we stayed so that was a big disappointment. Also the fire pit/coffee table on the porch doesn't work so it's only the regular one in the back yard (however they had that one all set up with wood for us in advance which was so awesome!). And I will say the cameras were a little off-putting. They are not upstairs and I appreciated the ones pointing to the driveway and the dock, but there was one pointing at the pool and then also one pointed at the downstairs sitting area in the garage space. Both of those felt strange, having cameras on my family as we played in the pool and watched TV in that space. Outside of those, I have nothing else I could find fault with. Dawn was a pleasure to work with. They left flowers and chocolate for us on arrival (we stayed over Easter). The house was very clean and everything worked like the sinks, showers, washer/dryer, recliner, etc. The pool was AWESOME and my kids still ask if we can go back to Crystal River and "the pool house." We also enjoyed having the kayak available for use so that was much appreciated. I really can't say enough good things about our trip. I highly recommend this place and very much hope to come back!.
This house was perfectly appointed for renters. The location made for easy access to the springs or the gulf. The property manager was friendly, attentive and accessible. Overall this property suited our needs perfectly. I would highly recommend it.
The property is exactly as described. Our grandsons got to see an alligator and lots of little đŠ. We had a great time at the Fort Island Beach and also got some Redfishing in. The springs were very pretty although very busy on the weekend. Had a great time visiting the shops in downtown Crystal River with my daughter in-law and going to the Cattle Dog for great Lattes and lunch. Don't miss out on going to the Seafood Cellar and Cafe for at least one meal; great seafood and service!
Owners did not tell us we were not allowed to have 2 boats before booking the place (even though dock is big enough for 2 boats). Owners kept our full deposit, I would not recommend renting this place.
We enjoyed everything about this house! We thought everything was just like we saw in pictures. We will stay here again! Thank you Dawn Bramblett (property manager). She help us with any questions we had!!
The place is very clean and well setup. The location for driving to Crystal River restaurants and retailers is great. The boat trip in via the canal is a little time consuming but you do end up at a good location to go up or down river. The property manager was very responsive and easy to work with before and during our stay.
The property was as beautiful as the pictures. The layout of the house and the yard was excellent. Having a fenced yard with a small dog was perfect. The screened porches provided excellent areas to eat and socialize. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. We had family staying a mile away and thought the house was beautiful also.
This was a great experience and I would recommend it to others. We brought our boat and the house was very easy to access by water with a great dock. The yard is perfect for kids, fenced and cross fenced. The property manager was very nice and had a great welcome basket filled with fun stuff for the kids for 4th of July. The house has an awesome screened in porch and garage area that we really enjoyed.
USCG Master Captain with a passion for all activities on the water. We created a beautiful Waterfront Lodge with very comfortable amenities so we can share our paradise with others who enjoy our crystal clear Natural Springs. Swimming with Manatees and World Class fishing and scalloping are the main attractions.
The neighborhood is quiet with all the homes located on 4 canals coming from the river. The boat ramp is 1 mile from the house. The Gulf of Mexico is 5 miles west on the Crystal River and Kings Bay and 3 Sisters Springs are 4 miles east on the Crystal River making this the perfect location for all water activities.
2 Docks with Direct River Access and no bridge obstruction. Secure trailer parking. World Class fishing and scalloping. The only location in the world where you can legally swim with manatees. Bars and Restaurant's close by.
